There's nothing reckless here. He avoided him. You just don't like how he
chose to do it.

In general, pretending not to see the MFFY driver is often the safer
thing to do as it will discourage an impending move by a MFFY driver.
It's not a question of doing nothing, but of appearing to do nothing.

MFFY drivers count on others avoiding them. They count on the teachings
of 'just let them do it'. Not showing any initial external reaction that
the MFFY driver can pick up on will often make the MFFY abort his move or
at least get out of the way.

His speed was legal.

Just let them do it. That's why the driving environment is so bad. This
teaching of just let them do it. Makes all these people feel they can do
whatever they want and everybody else just has to let them. These aren't
mistakes. They are purposeful acts. They know what they are doing. But
thanks to folks like you, they feel it's perfectly acceptable. Most of
them get upset thinking they are in the right because the other person
didn't give in to them. All your line of thinking does is promote more
MFFY behavior.
